Well I just wanted to post a quick note. Puma ended up not getting the rock out of his stomach so he went in to surgery yesterday. The doctor said that it was a 90% chance that it wasn't coming out on it's own and that it could have long term affects if it stays in too long. He says that he has done this many times and specializes in this sort of surgery. So everything went well and now he has a long recovery to come. They removed the rock and stapled him back up but now he is one unhappy boy. I am hoping last night was the worst of it because he pretty much cried all night and can't lay down so he tried his hardest to sit up and fall asleep(photo explains). Today he finally waged his tail at me after going outside so a little of him is there behind all the effects of the drugs. Needless to say that any rocks that are in the yard are going to go!! Not sure if he will do it again but I don't want to increase his odds. Not the best birthday present for Emma and I!
